Xie Xie with My 'Peng You's!

Many Asians say there's something special about alcohol that brings people together.  It may be true, but sometimes people + alcohol, sometimes does not = the type of togetherness you had initially had in mind, before adding the alcohol.

But people + food, is rarely a bad combination.  What can possibly go wrong with that combination?  What is there NOT to love?  As long as you don't overeat and/or get sick (of the food or the people), you're filling your belly with food and laughter.  All good-for-you stuff :)

My hungry friends and I moseyed over to Xie Xie (means 'Thank You,' in Chinese) and feasted on an assortment of sammiches.  (BTW, 'Peng You,' is 'Friend' in Chinese - Sorry, meant to tell you that earlier).  Being separated from Zanzibar by just a curtain, apparently Xie Xie is owned by the same owner.  It's actually a great concept because in most cases people + alcohol, usually = munchies.  Anyway, it was delicious and I will let the sammiches speak for themselves:
